After a tremendous game, Saturday, we now have accusations on national media regards bottle throwing (I saw 2 plastic glasses go onto the pitch) and claims of racism


Is it just our fans that can’t enjoy a day out without getting wasted on alcohol. I’ve been around the block a long time and it seems to have been there forever. I’m no angel by the way. Will the club be punished for the stupid antics of the few? I’m sick of being labelled the scum of RFL. Seriously what can be done to stamp it out?

I saw one plastic bottle thrown at the end of the game, one to many mind.

The majority of Hull supporters are extremely well behaved, and found this to be the case on Saturday.

But as usual the common denominator seems to be alcohol, and a few morons, tarnish our name, regarding the accusations of this journalist, perhaps evidence should be released to the police, if any exists.

I will also say this, in the east stand unreserved this beer throwing does happen, and it’s a shame some mugs ruin it for everyone, probably need to stop beer from being taken into the seated areas from the concourse as a first step.

It’s definitely not just us. Wire have had a set of =#FF0000Let's not use that word please. Cheers. Karen looking for trouble in car parks for a few years now, including Saturday. Rovers had their EDL cohort and Cas had a spell of trouble at games only a few years ago. Wigan have a set of wannabe footy casuals, Leeds fans fight amongst themselves a fair bit which largely goes unreported. The common denominator is drink mixing with existing idiocy, and we’re probably headed the way of football.

Given he was interviewing on camera, with an additional mic, I do hope this ITV journo coughs up some evidence soon.

Exactly cal train, in fact I would go further, let’s have AP getting involved in this accusation, either using the evidence to punish the offender, or bring this reporter to task if none is forthcoming.

The simple thing is to ban alcohol at Sports stadiums
Its pathetic why people need alcohol to watch a football or rugby match.
Its the same at Airports alcohol causes problems so ban it.
years ago lots of people were up in arms about smoking being banned in public places but you get used to it.
The same would apply banning alcohol consumption at Sports grounds and airports

You do that and Wizeb will never go to another Hull match again

It's not difficult to fuel up before a game.
If some are obviously ed entering a ground they shouldn't be allowed over the threshold.

its only a few idiots,why ban alcohol when the majority enjoy having a drink with no trouble.catch the idiots and jail them for a year.a few yobbos cause trouble at one entrance to paragon station,do they deal with the few idiots?.no they close the entrance.i remember a few years ago a bus driver was assaulted on the Anlaby road service.did they catch the offender?no,but they took the service off at last minute.everyone living on boothferry estate had to walk 2 miles home late at night.i like a drink at a game,especially a big cup match and ive never caused trouble in my life.

I thought this, I read one of his tweets where he said he filmed said incident...
So let's see if any evidence comes from it

I wouldn’t disagree with this, although as a lifelong supporter, who enjoys a tipple without ever having caused a problem or made a nuisance of myself due to alcohol, it’s a case of the very small minority spoiling the enjoyment of others, it’s a bugger.

Of course nowadays it’s not only alcohol which seems to fuel the crazy moods of some, drugs are now apparently used now to enhance people’s “pleasure”

Then again, we used to smoke cinnamon sticks behind east park, thinking we were Jimmy Cagney

I agree with you mate. Should not be allowed in to the ground as they do in footy but unfortunately Rugby isn't classified as a designated sporting event so the rules are different.

its been blown out of proportion anyway,a few idiots causing trouble.and who cares what the press say,right wing rags that I stopped buying 20 years ago, I bet not many of them devoted much space to the actual match itself.grubby newspapers,who needs them as for the idiots,catch them and give them a couple of years jail time.soon sort that out.

all the nrl games ive watched over the last 10 years,many big crowds,no segregation.many people knocking beer back.ive yet to see any crowd trouble. a lessen to be learned.you can drink at sports events and not cause trouble.segregation doesn't help either,with the them and us attitude.its really refreshing watching the aussie crowds with both sets of fans sat amongst each other.it seems far more of a family game over there

Something has to happen or it's just a matter of time before a player or referee/touch judge is seriously injured by a flying bottle.

It maybe unfair on the vast majority who just want a quiet drink but I would stop alcohol being consumed in the stands although authorities also need to stop anyone drunk or disorderly entering the ground and drinking to excess once they are in. Stewards at most grounds are useless.

I've pretty much stopped going away with Hull due to the handful of morons who give us all a bad name. I was at Anfield and Bolton and both time saw drunked idiots unable to behave in public.

I've said on here before, if you watch Toronto games they are basically beer festivals with no sign of any bother.

It's the British disease of binge drinking and not knowing when to stop.

I still say we should not let a few lager louts win the day,if they can drink abroad in aussie or Toronto with no trouble why should we accept defeat over here.we should crack down hard on morons who cant take the booze.last thing we should do is to let the few yobs win.

one thing I would ban,more and more of these idiots banging bloody drums,now theres a 2 year jail sentence if caught.

Are you Victor Meldrew



The drums are for the benefit of the home fans and atmosphere who gives a 5h1t about them.

This is about idiots dragging our club down into the mud again, nothing to do with right wing rags or drums, it was on national TV.

If anyone knows who the bells are that threw the bottles report them to the club.

Wouldn’t make a difference banning drink in the stadium, you’d still get your idiots regardless, it’s a very small minority who cause trouble, just need to find them and ban them. People need they heads read if comparing to football. Imagine football doing a magic weekend ha carnage. Been to most, enjoyed drinks with every set of fans in sl, superb respect between 99% of fans

Arif the guy who has accused a “Hull supporter” of telling him to fek off home, also said that a Halifax fan asked him if he was from Bollywood, and did he fancy him.

It just should not happen, if they can be found on the footage they should be out.

I agree Uppo58, but it works both ways, this guy has made these accusations, and in the influential occupation he is in, this situation should be clarified, I watched the Calendar report of the game by Arif.

No mention of this incident as yet, can he supply the proof please to the relevant authority.

It does tend to be the younger element. Most people now have mobile phones, just video or photo the idiots and report them to the club or police.

Just to add, as a Wigan supporter. Last year we went to Aus to watch the Wigan v Hull game in Woolongong and then onto Sydney. In the Steelers club pre and post match, both sets of fans drank a lot (and I mean a lot) had a good sing without any trouble whatsoever. In Sydney we all met up for another session on Darling Harbour, again no trouble just good banter.

The Steelers Club said that it was their record EVER bar takings.

And finally we had one lone Hull supporter on our trip Michael Bram, what a gent, a pleasure to be in his company.

So it's up to us to weed out these idiots who are giving our clubs and our game really bad publicity.

Thank you Rogues, lovely post



But this allegation has been made by a “journalist” the same guy has also accused a Halifax supporter of similar comments.

Perhaps he has submitted his evidence to the authorities, I hope so.

Hope plenty of Wigan fans are coming on Thursday, you are all very welcome.

As you can probably guess I'm experienced (a grumpy old bugger), been retired over 10 years. Always enjoyed our visits to Hull, we used to go into Raynors, Star and Garter? on Hessle Road and St. Andrews Social Club. To say we met some "characters" in there would be an understatement lol but never any trouble.

Can't make it on Thursday as I've just had an op on my hand and can't drive and my sons working. We were going to come over had it been Saturday as scheduled!!
